AUCTION PROCESS

Boats are typically listed on our website for 6-8 weeks and then auctioned to the highest 'registered' bidder. By sending in a bid form with a good faith deposit, you become a 'registered' bidder.

During the 6-8 weeks, the boat can be viewed and bids can be sent to the brokering office.

**We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you or your agent(s) view the boat personally before making a bid.

Once the auction begins, the broker will call the low bidders and inform them of the current high bid, at which time the bidder has
the opportunity to either raise their bid or drop out of the auction process. The broker will continue to call each bidder until there is one high bidder left. The duration of the auction can range from
1-3 days.

After the highest bidder is informed that they won the auction, we require payment within 24 hours by wire transfer or a bank certified check. When we receive the payment, a Bill of Sale is written out and sent to winning bidder to be signed and sent back to us.

The proper ownership documents will be sent within approimately 60 days.
